[Metagion · Rating 4 out of 5]

Printed in 1954, this book is pretty cool--it's separated by different catagories, like "Brief Candles" (for infants & children), "the God Haters" (for atheists) and "Memento Mori" ('Remember you Must Die'). It's stories & epitaphs taken from all over the U.S., with brief descriptions of each. Well worth it if you're a taphophile (gravestone lover) but I wish they could've had a recent reprint with new material.
